"I will go with thee," he said, in a tremble. "But do I go on the wind-broken and spring-halt Black Tom of Lincoln?" "That, Black Tom of Lincoln!" cried the mysterious scullion, laughing. "Thou hast once more been made a fool of. I have many times seen Black Tom. But thou shalt not go on the beast thou camest on. I will furnish thee another, for it must seem that thou didst escape on foot.
In the kitchen Sally spoke without prelude. "What deviltry are you up to now, Steve?" "Me?" he repeated with eyes widened by innocence. "What d'you mean, Sally?" "Don't four-flush me, Steve." "Is eating in your place deviltry?" "Am I blind?" she answered hotly. "Have I got spring-halt, maybe?
In severe cases of "scratches" or chemical irritation of the extremity, the legs are abnormally flexed in a manner which simulates spring-halt, but because of the evident injury of the parts this is not likely to confuse.
"I have seen a man who had a walk on him that suggested spring-halt and locomotor ataxia combined impersonating my graceful self in a manner that drove me almost crazy. I've heard my 'To be or not to be' soliloquy uttered by a famous tragedian in tones that would make a graveyard yawn at mid-day, and if there was any way in which I could get even with that man I'd do it."
Operations of almost every conceivable nature have been tried with the hope of securing recovery in spring-halt but under no condition can the practitioner as yet be reasonably certain of effecting permanent relief in any case. Treatment is, therefore, entirely empirical.

And do I not now seek them on this wind-broken and spring-halt horse as best I may?" The king beckoned the little man nearer. "Where hast thou sought?" he asked.
"But I think we need not fear those eagles which do not fly in dreams." And now in the yard of the Swan all was astir.

This ailment affects old horses more frequently than it does young and is seen in all breeds of animals including mules. Symptomatology.
"Well, sor, in a few minutes out she come, leanin' on His Lordship's arm, steppin' loike she had spring-halt, and takin' half the sidewalk to turn in. "'Good-night, Your Ladyship, says His Lordship. "'Good-night, Sir Henry, she called back, her head out of the winder, and off I driv.
Consequently, one may summarize thus: Spring-halt is a disease of unknown origin the exact cause has not been determined; therefore, all treatment is, in a way, experimental. The recommendation of any given procedure in handling cases must then be a matter of opinion based either upon practical experience or knowledge of the experiences of others.
